A FEW REVIEWS FROM THE INVESTMENT BOOK READERS
"...Your advice has really put me on a good path financially. I'm just on autopilot investing weekly in my brokerage accounts and letting my Roth IRA dividend portfolio grow ."
"...I have taken your advice from 2021, as you may be aware.Before retiring early (which I finally did some weeks ago) (I am still doing a little extra work two days a week) I wanted to see how much I would yield from my dividends. I ended up making about $77K which of course would then be taxed 15%, so I am certainly able to live off the proceeds.So I decided to do just that. Find attached my recent scores in all 10 variables along with the final score for my 20 stocks. I was very pleased with my dividends. All stock gave me a range of dividend percent ranging from 5 to over 10%."
"...My dividend portfilio went down approximately 4.9% but my dividends were up 10.95%. A good portion of my last year’s price reduction has been offset by growth this year - to the tune of about half. I think too many people think about years in isolation - that is last year was bad. They think in absolutes like I lost $$$$ not paper losses. "
"...I have been using a passive investment system since I read two of your books. I am now retired and live only on the dividend income with no need to draw from the principle. The last few years the stock prices have been down but it is no longer a concern as I own good quality stocks that have a long history of paying consistent dividends."
"...I have benefitted from your books, so a big THANK YOU.
2022 has been okay for me, I'm down about 4% so no worries, the dividends just keep on rolling and the market will recover one day. "
" I've downloaded your previous books and found them very useful. I'm from the UK and the concepts have helped me to pick the stocks I want to invest in. Your stock scoring software has helped me a lot."

THREE NOVELS
Beware The Abandoned
A reader wrote, "....I just finished this thriller book, Beware the Abandoned. I could not stop reading it. Last night I finished it and went to bed at 4 a.m. What a great book. You really have done your research and it is almost scary how much you know and how you planned his escape. PLEASE, PLEASE, I need a second book. We now need to know how John C. is going to carry on"
This is a 231 page action packed story about John Cross, an abandoned child who was fighting for survival on the mean streets of Los Angeles, when The Sanctuary (a capitalist, non religious sect) selected him to be trained to accumulate great wealth. They search the world's slums for the brightest and and most creative orphans.
John's financial success allows the sect to search for more abandoned children to grow their wealth. How John Cross realizes this wealth is of no concern to The Sanctuary. What is critical to them, is keeping their money maker ahead of his pursuers - the mob and the FBI. The murders in Paris, Las Vegas and Delaware were just John removing obstacles in his path to wealth.
Will his latest romantic interest also become an obstacle? The FBI and the mob are closing in fast on his hideaway in a small beach town on the Delaware coast.
A sequel to Beware The Abandoned should be available in 2024.
